Issue 4: JIT-103060
Description: iSM cannot be installed through VUM after successful uninstallation.
Workaround for Issue 2, 3 and 4:
The upgrade of iDRAC Service Module Live VIB package for VMware ESXi from iSM 3.1 to iSM 3.2 using DellEMC VUM
repository requires a Host OS reboot. Alternatively, you can use the esxcli or PowerCLI interfaces to upgrade iDRAC Service
Module without a Host OS reboot.
Limitations and Workarounds on VMware ESXi operating
Systems
● The iDRAC Access via Host OS feature is not supported on VMware ESXi Operating Systems.
● When Local Racadm set is disabled through iDRAC interfaces:
○ iDRAC Service Module will fail to configure the OS to iDRAC Pass-through in the USB NIC mode.
○ if OS to iDRAC Pass-through in the USB NIC mode is already configured, Watchdog feature does not work resulting in
ASR000 event.
● iDRAC Service Module functionality is restored when Local Racadm set is enabled.
● EventID for Lifecycle Controller Logs replicated to OS log will be 0 for some of the past events.
● TrapID for In-band SNMP Traps will be 0 for some of the past traps.
● JIT-91716, JIT-90475: WSMan commands for remote iDRAC Hard Reset and remote Enabling or Diabling of
InBandSNMPTraps features are not functional on VMware ESXi 6.7.
Workaround: Stop and start WBEM in ESXi 6.7 using the following commands:
1. esxcli system wbem set –e 0
2. esxcli system wbem set –e 1
● JIT-82934: Due to mismatch between package name and VIB name, you may fail to deploy iDRAC Service Module integrated
with custom ESXi ISO image using PowerCLI.
Workaround: To integrate iDRAC Service Module VIB into custom ESXi ISO image:
1. Loop Mount the modified ISO image (with iDRAC Service Module integrated) and copy the contents to a temp folder (cp –a
<mount dir>/* /tmp/temp_iso; cp <mount dir>/.discinfo /tmp/temp_iso; )
2. cd /tmp/temp_iso
3. Rename iDRAC Service Module package by using the command mv ism.v00 iSM.v00
4. Add iSM.v00 references in boot.cfg and efi/boot/boot.cfg
5. Recreate the ISO image using mkisofs -relaxed-filenames -J -R -o /tmp/custom_esxi_ism.iso -b
isolinux.bin -c boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table /tmp/temp_iso
● JIT-87572: When iDRAC Hard Reset is disabled in iDRAC and user performs iDRACHardReset from the Hypervisor operating
systems like VMware ESXi, the result indicates success although iDRAC is not reset.
